So, what does Parenting for GRIT {PfG} look like on Tuesday morning at 8:15?
Try this:
Choosing *not* to deliver the item your child forgot to take to school today.
Even though said child will experience unpleasant consequences as a result.
Even though said child will experience unpleasant consequences as a result.
Even though you, too, may have to experience the unpleasantness which can accompany said child's reaction to these consequences. And the unpleasantness of hearing said child's unhappy--or perhaps disrespectful--reaction to your decision.
Even though said child's regrettable reaction may call for additional and unpleasant consequences. Consequences which, of course, you will need to implement. Which, of course, involves even more unpleasantness.
Is this what PfG looks like on Tuesday morning at 8:15?
Or does it look different?
